faux fur...

does anyone else love this purse???

i found it at h&m before christmas and it was on clearance!

i could not say no.

anything made of faux fur kills me.

that is another style staple that i hope doesn't go away anytime soon! 

along with my leather leggings.

ohh my gosh i practically live in them! 

i try to limit myself to wearing them once a week.

how bad is that?!

seriously, they are my absolute favorite.

and i got them at a thrift store!

i have never been able to find a pair that i love more than these.

if anyone knows of a good affordable brand though- let me know because i'm definitely in need of some new leather!

hello, 2014...

well happy 2014 everyone!

i decided that this super girly, sparkly, and leopard print outfit was perfect for the new year. 

i got these bottoms {as a christmas gift} from charming charlie.

and i discovered that leopard leggings are extremely hard to pull off when you are short and curvy! 

i completely wish that it was still as stylish as it used to be to wear skirts over leggings. 

a large oversized sweater would have been perfect but of course i don't have one!

i really should have one- everyone has one and they are so cute. 

so i had to get creative and go shopping in my own closet.

and i have to tell you- just about every single item i own was on my floor! 

it took me so long to find a top that went well with the leggings and was still flattering. 

so anyways, this is what i came up with! 

overly feminine outfits are the best- don't you think?

oh, and also- this scarf is from wal mart!

it's really hard to tell from the pictures but there are little gold sequins scattered all over it. 

i absolutely love it.

all of the scarves at wal mart were really cute actually.

sometimes that store can surprise me!

have a wonderful first week of 2014!!

december style...

 ok, so first off i just want to say that if anyone happened to be on my blog over the last few days and clicked on any links or pictures and were redirected to spam websites- i'm sorry, it's because i was hacked.

having your blog hacked is a horrible feeling.

so i just wanted to let everyone know who has a blogger account and isn't using the google 2-step verification yet- get it now!

seriously. 

it's so easy and so fast.

but ok- on to better things...
i have been dying to wear red and gold for the christmas season.
i found these shoes at a thrift store last weekend and they are a half size too small but i don't even care!
they are so chrsitmasy...
i love them.
and i thought that this shirt was perfect as well.
i found it at rue21 for only $6!
i have been wearing rue21 a lot lately because it's the only store in my town and so, so cheap.
and i'm really starting to love the place.
and if you are looking for an extra holiday touch- this headband from monroe & harlow is just perfect! 

 top: rue21

pants: fragile via t.j. maxx

shoes: merona (thrifted)

belt: calvin klein via marshalls

headband: monroe & harlow here

purse: marc jacobs via nordstrom rack

enjoy the rest of your week! 

marvel...

so i am definitely not into comics or super heroes or any of that kind of stuff.

but i've grown up with a big brother who is.

so when i saw this top at rue21, i knew i needed it.

(...cause he is in the army and i miss him...)

it was super cheap and i thought it would be perfect to just lounge around in.

but when i got home i decided to fancy it up with my best black pants, boots, and blazer.

and i think it is actually one of my very favorite outfits.

when shopping- take risks, buy unexpected things.

they may just turn out to be some of your most beloved items. 

top: rue21

jacket: frenchi via t.j. maxx

pants: merrilee's swimwear boutique (laguna beach)

boots: michael kors via dillards

camo and plum...

camo is one of my very favorite prints right now.

it's doesn't always give off the most feminine look, however.

so i decided to pair it with a flowy dress and some girly accessories like my plum head band and pink necklace.

together i thought it worked as a very feminine fall look.

are you loving camo too?
